Under this heading the Philadelphia I _Worth American has an editorial article ; giving a bright picture of the future of i Georgia. We make the following ex ! tracts: In fact Georgia has reached the point | where it is not driven by necessity, und is ; in condition to improve some of its many und mighty advantages. It has cotton, coal, wood, iron, gypsum. It seeks to populate its pastures; to complete its lines of railway; to obtain capital by former crops and new investments; and then to add manufactures to this recovery and thereby Becut e settled population by whom all the possibilities can be carried forward abreast and harmoniously; “to have Geor gia, covered with cotton that supplies her \ cotton mills, raising the iron that supplies her furnaces and mills; growing the grain and grazing the herds and flocks that feed her laborers and sustain her manufac tures.’' Perhaps no Southern State has so vigor ously and intelligently improved in the last few years as Georgia. It is true that a fortunate situation, fine climate and multiplied resources rendered these re sources easier than it is in many States, but it is equally true that the spirit whs as wise as the resources were abundant. Pol itics were subordinated to industry; the hurmoniziug of old creeds with new prue- 1 tices was left for a time, and every man ' took hold. * * * * The in- j staut, therefore, approaches when the | agriculture that furnishes the textile, and j the miuing that provides coal und ore, j and the farming that yields food, will! unite and create those manufacturing in dustries, already more than begun, to j which the State looks to completement j what it is aud has done und affect whnt it j may do. Those who aro counting the Southern future err unless they reckon this integer, and even then fall short un j less they recognize the same advantages in j some near measure, and much of the same j spirit and ability in Alabama, East Ten nessee, Western North Carolina, and Vir- ‘ ginia aud Kentucky. And w ith such re- j sources in full headway, what are the j limits to be placed to the wealth of this \ region ?—what >s the power it will not ex- j ort ? 11 11 ■ ■ " ♦ • Oewkual Torso. WtuthinyUm May 26.—Gen. P. M. B. Young of Ga., was to- ; day appointed by Speaker Plain as one of ! the board of Visitors to West Point on . the part of the House of Representatives. Thirteen years ago General Young left the 1 Military Academy there to join his for tunes with those of his State. The latest and a rather significant novel- 1 ty in Paris is the npuearance of apparently genuine five franc pieces with the imprint of the head of young Napoleon, and the words, Napoleon IV Empereur, ou the one side, and the imperial arms on the other. The word “Essui,” engraved in small letters on the coin, protects it against government interference. Maine Indians. —There ure two Indian tribes in Maine, the Passamaquoddies and the Penobscotts, and each are represented in the Legislature by one of their own number, These two repretentatives of the red man take no part in legislation, butjare allowed to draw their pay just the sume as the representatives of the white man. They spend most of their time du ring the session in the rotunda engaged in pipe smoking aud cliating with each other in the dialect of their fathers. -- - *♦ ■ A Sensible Resolution. —The Rockford (Ala.) Grange has adopted this resolution: “That we will retrench our expenditures for dress and living, aud confiue them to articles actually necessary for decency, comfort and good health, and will deny oureevles as far as possible the purchase of such things, both as to dress and living, as ' are superfluous.” This resolution, rigidly i enforced throughout the South would be worth millions to the agriculturalists of this section. Suits under the Civil Rights Bill.— ! Judge Lynch, of the fourth District Court j at New Orleans, has awarded the following i amounts to colored claimants in suits under the civil rights hill: One thousand dollars to Joseph rs. Bidwell, proprietor j of the Academy of Music, for refusing him ! admission; $250 each to George Wash ! iDgton and Lewis vs. McCloskey for j refusing to sell them soda water; and $250 i to Clermont vs. O’Neil, for refusing to sell him a drink. These cases were decided by the judge in conformity with the law passed by the recent Louisiana Legisla ! ture, the juries failing to agree. j New Foe to Cotton.— The cotton plant | has anew enemy. Its appearance and ! ravages are thus described in the Natchez ! Democrat-Courier of the 21st instant: We : are informed by a gentleman residing three miles from the city that anew enemy :to the cotton plant has made its appear ance on his place, being a small black snail. These may be seen in countless numbers all over the fields, and as soon as the first two leaves of the cotton make their appearanoe above ground, these ! pests “go for them” and eat them, totally | destroying the stand. About half of the i crop was up and has thns been destroyed, , making it necessary to replant. These snails work some on the young corn also, : but will not damage it much. I>r. Beard is of opinion that the in tellect reaches its maximum development iat the age of forty, after which it begins to decay. He not only thinks that men lose intellectual power after this age, but that they become worse, often much worse.as they become older; that they lose their moral enthusiasm, or moral courage, or capacity of resisting temptation and enduring dinppointment, and frequently sink into senile debauchees.

May 28. — The House sub stitute for the currency bill jv** lvjaoted; also, the Senate substitute. The whole matter was stmt to a conference committee, being, on the part of the House, May nard, of Tennessee, Farwell, of Illinois, and Clvmer, of Pa. The bill for the reduction of stlie army was discussed aud the previous qnestiou seconded. It will be voted oil to-morrow. The select committee on the Arkansas difficulties is Polaud, of Vermout, Ward, of lllitioif, Woodford, of New York, buy lor, of Ohio, and Sloss, of Alabama, the ! three first being Republicans and the two last Democrats. An evening sossiou will be held for the tariff bill. The Senate rejeetod the bill to establish the Territory of Pembina by a vote of 29 nays to 19 yens. An amendment of Sargent to confer the right of suffrage upon women in the pro posed new territory led to a lengthy dis cussion, was finally defeated by 27 nay to 17 yea*. The military Academy appropriation bill was then taken up ami will be finished to-morrow. The Star snvs, regarding the claims bill, w! ic'i in u'es over a thousand mimes, that it is quite probable that the bill, ! which passed the House Home time ago, I for the payment of the awards of the Southern claims Committee, will not be acted upon by the Benate during this ses sion of Congress, owing to the uear ap proach of the close of the session. One of | the most ingenious features of this delay j is that most of the claimants are now strug ; gliug with the flood! It is understood in well informed circles that the oivil rights bill is dead for this session. The influence of the President is supposed to be against the bill. RADICAL FELONS. Charleston, May 27.—The three ; county commissioners of Barnwell county, J indicted last week for stealing the public j funds, have been tried and convicted. ILLICIT DISTILLING.

THE OARLtST WAR. Bayonne, May 27.—Traveler* who have arrived in this city from the sefeue of the Carlist war in Spurn, bring the following intelligence; General Concha, with a force of Republicans numbering 25,000 men, marching toward Estrella, in the Province of Navarre. He attacked the Carlists on the 24t,h iust. with three col umns, and was repulsed everywhere. Don Carlos has left Durango and ar rived at Tolosa. the capital of the Province of Guipuzcou, flifteeu miles southwest of San Sebastian. FOREKIN NOTES. London, May 28. Dispatches report the Pope and Bismarck both sick. The Times correspondent telegraphs from Paris that the Assembly will reopen without a message from the President or any announcement of policy by the Min istry. A decree was issued yesterday dissolving the Council General of the Department of Botiehes du ltho.e. The government is sure of a vote of confidence should the Left depose an interpellation in regard to this summurv act. Hearts. Henrts are of several kiudsand of widely j different natures. First, there me walled- ’ up hearts, uml there are of two kinds. About one kind the wall is high nml strong, and to surmount it is a work or ex treme difficulty; but if you get inside you have entered Eden. Fragrant, and sweet, and fair as the visions seen in dreams, is that enclosed garden, and it is worth hard lalxir to gain admission there. The other lias a wall as high and strong, and full as hard to get over, and when, at last, with torn flesh nml dislocated joints, you have scaled it, you wish you hadn't; for there is nothing inside but rocks and cold wa ter. The trouble with these two descrip tions of hearts is, that ’tis impossible to distinguish the one from the other until you have almost worn yourself out in cilmbing the walls. Another kind of heart is that which, having nothing to fence it in, lies open to the passage of all men and (tattle- -a waste, unfruitful field, of ho use to anybody, and less to its owner. But there is another kind of heart—a rare creation, but a real oue— whose wall is low and almost hid by flow ers. The birds make their nests in it, uud sing as they swing upon its swaying twigs and festooning vines. Beyond the wall, itself a thing of fragrance, beauty and joy, lie the enchanting gardens. De lightful bowers invite the wuy-worn trav eler to enter and repose; spirits of love and beauty beckon the sad and lonely ones to the feast of souls, and a charmed light and glory hover ill the whole joyous air. This is the true type of heart. Ribbons.— Europe produces annually 885,000,000 value of ribbons, lully one half of which are made in France. Puris being the chief market, and St. Etienne, i Lyons, and the department of the Loire the great producing center. The value of i those prodneed in St. Etienne alone is -s --j timated ut 822,500,000 yearly. The indus j try has been much extended of late years. I England and America do not purchase I their ribbons from Paris, but draw them pirectly from St. Etienne and Lyons. A clergyman, who has a bad habit of I ; adding “ah” to many of his words, told last Sunday, of those who had been brought up on the Lord's side-h. Let Congress give those Centennial Cele brators four or five millions of dollars, and in one hundred years from now they’ll come along again and demand at least twice the amount. -Courier-Journal. If we once truly love, we love forever. There is no time in real affections as far as this life is concerned—it has no exist ence—or, it is an eternity, nothing save the proved worthlessness of the object of our regard can rend the b ends of i.fft clic n. If jtbe bark of your trees is infested ! with the eggs of insects, you can get rid of them by taking a half pound of tobacco, half pound of sulphur, quarter peck of lime; stir these ingredients well together ] in three or four gallons of water. Leave : it to settle, and syringe the trees with the clear liquid. A few days ago a hungry party sat down at the well spread supper table of a sound steamer, upon which one of the dishes contained a trout of moderate size. A ae j nous-looking individual drew this dish to* I ward him, saying, apologetically. “This is j last dav with me. ” His next neighbor, an Irish gentleman, immediately inserted his | ork into the fish and transferred it to his own plate, remarking. “.Sir, do you sup pose uobodv has u. tow) to • be Cnii’d’i Hilt ; TOUlbfcU ? Cpaa-Muie in Church. The proceedings of the Methodist Con ference of the Churofc fkyjtli at Louisville, upon the question of music In church, are amusing, to qny ihe least, The origi nal resolution requested' the BiMidps in their pastoral address to call attention to, mid express their derided disapprobation of, opern-uipste, “flow so .common in churches, w hich so nearly drowns ilio ef fect of the singing.'’ We are not exactly clear whnt this means, uuless it be that the organists South have a habit of interfer ing with ciuigrcgattoiful singing by lmul and florid neeeiuuaniments, and startling developments of noritnre, whioh lire not of the approved Stcmhold and Hopkins pattern. If it does not mean this, then we give up the conundrum. If it does,, we can not see the difference between prais ing God in long metre, and with the same notes disposed iu triplets, and trills, and - Dr. Peterson was opposed to the practice because it opols the ardor. When it comes to thiN, no one will license the colored Methodist brethren of being cool in their ardor, and yet their muse is quite operatic, in the sense used by the Con ference, as compared with the long-drawn psulws of.thvii wlqto brethren. The ne gro hVmn'is a hop, skip ami a jump, which usually exhausts the resources of execution before it is ended. Dr. Winfield didn’t know how to sing. anL on this account, was opposed to preludes, and wanted to get back to the good old songs of Wesley —an unfortunate allusion, as it whs Wesley who struck for a higher class of music. Then a substitute Was offered that the Bishops bo requested to urge iu their ad dress the necessity of congregational sing ing. Dn Paul, win a hits been leader of a choir for half a century, war opposed to the use of all interludes aud preludes, be cause they killed -the spirit. \Vu four that the killing of the spirit is not so much the cause of Dr. Paul's objection as the fact that the preludes and interludes must be i played by uu orgauisL Now it is just us axiomatic in music that an organist aud ; choir-leader must be at swords’ points us tlmt, two half-notes make a whole one. j They never agree iu tempos. The or ganist always makes it a special point to drown the to strike false chords and throw him off, and the choir lender always represents to the Music Com mittee that the organist plays operatic mu sic, aud throws out dulk hints about Of- j fonlmeh aud Strauss. We four this is the | real trouble which prejudices Dr. Paul against preludes and interludes. If he j can get these abolished, however, he has got the upper baud of the organist for all time, as these are the very occasions when ! the organist has free swing Hud throw* himself, with all the stops pulled out. The i lust speaker iu the debate, Dr. Green, was timorous because it was so difficult to start a tune in the proper key. This reminds us of the sad experience of u worthy dea con in one of our own Methodist aburches, who was a great .stickler for congrega tional singiug. Ho filially succeeded in ousting the choir and orgau, and, to his great delight, win appointed to lead off the siuging on the next Sunday. The good deacon came to church with more than hiH customary pride. The minister gave out the hyDim and the deacon arose and commenced the tune. Before he had j got through the first line half the emigre- • gution quit singiDg. On the second line j two or three very high sopranos kept him ; company u little ways, tind then ulso sub- ■ sided. On the third line the deacon was i going it alone, but very feebly. Then ■ there came a. sudden jump to a note above j the* line. The deacon had pitched the I tuuo three'or four tones übuvo the key. lie made a desperate effort to hit the high note and missed it. He tried it again, j hut was still further away from it, and then he quietly sat down. From that day to this he lias flever said a word about singing, und makes no objection to the quartette choir and organ which helps him to praise God. In the Conference, the substitute asking the bishops to urge the necessity of congregational singing was finally adopted. A compromise, however, might easily have been effected. Seculur music can be changed into sucred without the sligbest difficulty. “Pop goes the weasel,” “Johnny comes marching home." and even "Yankee Doodle," if the tempos are slacked sutnoiently, Cun Hot be rocog ; nized us secular. i Singular Coincidence. —A gentleman and lady who occupied the same seat on an eastern Bound train of cur* in Ohio, re cently, casually fulling into conversation, found that they both belonged in Boston and were going home. Ou their arrival ut t.hs depot in Boston, they both got into the same hack, and the fmckman having i inquired of the man where he wanted to ! go,he replied, “No. 12 street." “You | may leave mo at the same place,” said the | laily. The man was a good deal surprised; I but when they arrived at the house they ! found that they had been living in adjoin ing houses, the entrances to which were not three foot apart, for several yours, and hud not known each other.

How Poor Eves are Made. —I have, during the past two months, seen lace veils drawn tight over the face iu church both morning aud evening. I have seen ladies teaching in Sunday-school and iu sewing-schools where the expression of face has so much to do with claimmiug and retaining the scholars’ attention with the inevitable veil covering like u musk both face und expression. Ladies were seen at the evening receptious at the Metropolitan museum of art, looking at pictures and porceluiu through lace veils, which in one or two instances were beaded. I jjiysclf saw a lady at the Astor library procure the seventh volume of Fronde's History of England, which she proceeded to read through a dotted laee veil.
